What size cake stand do you need
A 10–12 inch stand suits most 6–8 inch party cakes. Choose a stand 2–4 inches wider than the cake so the board is fully supported and there is room to decorate the rim.
What size cake stand for a tiered cake?
Match the base tier, not the top. A two-tier cake with a 10-inch base needs a 12-inch stand so the board does not overhang.
Can a cake stand be too big?
Yes. A stand far wider than the cake makes a small cake look lost and crowds the table. Stay within 4 inches of the cake diameter.

Which paper plates are strong enough for a party
Choose coated plates of 300 gsm or heavier with a rim : the coating stops sauce soaking through and the rim stops the plate bending under load. Thin uncoated plates are fine for cake and snacks but collapse under pasta, rice or anything with gravy.
